To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHAN PARTMANN, a subject of the King of Hungary, and a resident of the city of NewYork, borough of Bronx, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and'lmproved Lock for Hand-Bags, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

dle and in a guideway in the stud, may

move into an opening in the tongue to hold the tongue relatively to the stud and with the frame members together. In the handle there is a slot through which a pin is disposed, this pin being secured to a ring for movement on the handle and to the" bolt member for moving the bolt member away from the tongueagainst the resiliency of a spring. 1 Still other objects of the invention will appear in the following specification, in which the preferred form of the invention will be found described. i g

In the drawings similar reference char acters refer to similar parts in all the views,-

in which i 1 Figure 1 is a view showing in elevation my improvement, parts beingbroken away to show the construction; Fig.2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional 'view" of the improvement, Fig. 3 is a sectionalaview on a the line 33 of Fig. 1'; Figgd is a sectional view on the line H of "Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the bag 9 has the usual frame members 10 and 11, at its mouth, these frame members 10 and 11 being adapted to be opened, so that the interior of the bag-may be reached. To the frame member 10, there is secured a stud 12 and to theframe member 11, there is secured a standard 13, having a tongue 1 1 for moving in a recess 15 in the stud 12, the tongue 14, being provided with an opening 16, for receiving a terminal 17 of a bolt member 18, provided for As has been stated, the bolt 1s disposed 1n the hollow handle 19, this moving in the hollow handle 19 and in the guideway 20, which connects the interior of the hollow handle19 with the recess 15'.

It will therefore be seen that when the terminal 17 of the bolt member 18, extends through the opening 16 in the tongue 14:, it W111 serve tohold the tongue 1 1 relatively to the stud 12 and with the framemembers 10 and 11 together. The terminal 17 of the bolt member 18 is received in a notch 21, in

the 12, after it passes through the opening 16 in the tongue 14c.

hollow handle-19, having terminals 22 and 23,. whichare disposed. in openings 24 and 25 at opposite sides of the stud 12, the terminals 22 and 23 havingpins 26 for-rotating ingrooves 27 in the stud 12, the terminals 22 and 230f the handle 19, being prevented from movement away from the stud 12 by the engagement of the pins 26 in the grooves 27. Thebolt member 18,extends to a point adjacent the top of the handle 19,

a pin 28, being secured to the bolt member 18 and extending through slots 29 in the handle 19, theterminals of this pin 28, being secured to a ring 30, so that the bolt member 18 may be readily moved, that its terminal 17 may be freedfrom the tongue 14 at the openingr16 therein. The bolt member 18 is held yieldingly inthe position shown in Fig. 2 ,of the drawings, by a member 18 spring 3l, one end 32 of which: presses against the pin 28, the other end 33 of the spring beingheld in position by a pin 34.

By-referringto Figs- 2 and 5 of the drawings 'itwill be seen that there are guideways 35 at the bottom of the stud 12 which extend outwardly from the grooves 27 and thatthe pins v26 which are normally disposed in the grooves 27 at a distance from the guideways 35 may be rotated with the handle 19 to positions 1n alinement with the guideways 35 when the'terminals 22 and 23 may be moved away from each other,

the pins 26 moving outward in the guideways 35 to free the handle from the stud 12. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 1 Patent: a

1. A bag having two frame members, a stud on oneof the frame members and proends, there being in the stud'circular grooves vided with bearing openings "at opposite Copies of this patent may lie-obtained for communicating with the bearing openings and guideways extending outwardly parallel with the axes of the bearing openings from the circular grooves'to the ends of the stud, a handle having a hollow terminal and a second terminal, the terminals of the handlesbeing provided with pins for .movingin theguideways and for rotating in the circular grooves, there being a recess in the stud extending through the outer surface of the ings at opposite'sides, a handle having a hollow terminal anda secondterminal, the

"terminals being journaled in the bearings, there being a recess in the stud extending through the outer surfacev of the stud between the said sides,'the stud having a guideway cxtending'from the hollow terminal of the handle to the recess, a tongue on the other framemember and provided with an opening, a bolt member in the hollow terminal of the handle for movement through the guideway and into the opening in the tongue, there being aslot in the side of the hollow portion of the handle, a pin secured to the bolt member and extending through the slot, a ring for movement on the handle, to which the pin is secured, and resilient means for holdingthe bolt member yieldingly relatively to the handle.

-3. A bag having two frame members, a

stud secured-to one .of the frame members and provided with arecess, a hollow handle secured to the stud, there being a guideway in the stud extending from the recess to the hollow portion of the handle, a tongue with an opening secured to the other frame member for movement in the recess, a bolt member inthe hollow handle for movement in I ,ingly relatively to the handle.

4. A bag having two frame members, a stud secured to one of the frame members and provided with bearing openings at opposite sides, there being in the stud circular grooves communicating with the bearing openings and guideways extending outwardly parallel with the axes of the bearings from the circular grooves to the ends of the stud, a handle having terminals with pins for movement in the guideways and for rotating inthe circular grooves, and means forsecuring the other frame relatively to the stud.

5. A bag having two frame members, a stud secured to one of the frame members -and,provided with bearing openings at opposite sides, there being in the stud circular grooves communicatlng with the bearing openlngs and guideways extending outwardly from the circular grooves, a hollow handle having terminals normally disposed in the bearing openings, pins on the terminals normally disposed in the circular grooves and adapted for movement in the guideways, there belng 1n the stud a recess extending through the outer surface of the stud and a guideway extending from the recess to one of the bearing openings, a tongue on the other frame member for move ment in the recess, and a bolt member in the hollow handle for movement in the last mentioned guideway andfinto the opening in the tongue.

In witness whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of .two subscribing witnesses.

JOHAN PARTMANN.
